Jimmer, allow an American to fill in the CART gaps. They ACTUALLY DID do standing starts for a year or 2 then scrapped it - I believe that was in the mid-2000s when they changed the name from CART to Champ Car World Series. The world record for a closed course (basically the fastest lap of any track anywhere in the world, ever... Excluding drag racing of course) was set by a CART car. I'm not sure exactly which year - but the lap record is 240.3 miles per hour AVERAGE over a 2 mile track. In Michigan. Let that sink in - 60mph - 1 mile per minute. 240= 4 miles per minute... 2 miles in just 30 seconds. On the straights, these cars reached 250+mph. Le Mans is a fast track - average of about 150mph over a lap for Lmp1 cars. The fastest lap time at le mans is 3:14 Imagine a car doing it in just over 2 minutes. OVER A FULL MINUTE FASTER PER LAP! Obviously I realize le mans has 50mph turns like arnage and mulsannes that lower lap speed - the comparison is mostly because most people (mostly European people) don't think CART was any good - I've heard it compared to gp3. I don't know of any 250mph gp3 cars. The absolute record speed of an f1 car is 370kph. CART cars easily hit 400+kph and AVERAGED OVER 370KPH EACH LAP! The racing was also WAY more exciting than f1 has been since the early 1990s when I started watching. Yes. I said it. CART was better than the days of Senna, Mansell, and Prost. F1 has always had 4-6 cars actually capable of a podium. In CART, half the field had a chance. Also, CART is the only race series to race on ovals, rovals (oval tracks with a road course section like Daytona uses for the rolex 24hr race), temporary street tracks and permanent road courses. Indycar is currently making itself more like how CART was - and I couldn't be happier! Indycar now has roughly 750hp... 2.2L turbo v6. They are moving to a 2.4L plus allowing a kers system similar to the v8 f1 cars. So 900+hp is close - stay tuned for more crazy American crash filled racing goodness!
You is right about cart in all aspects but I think the 90's cart cars are the fastest around a track compared to the newer irl cars and the new f1 cars. Nigel mansel, Emerson fittipaldi, Mario andretti made watching Indy car in the 90's awesome especially the 93 Indy car season 😃
@@marquettejackson You'll never see the kind of top end speed again like you saw in CART. The drivers in CART when they would go to ovals had brass balls bigger than anyone from Texas. A crash at 240mph could easily kill you. Especially in the mid 90's when the safety wasn't at all the same standards it was even 5 years after the split. Just imagine how the Dan Weldon Las Vegas crash would have been if the cars could run at speeds the CART cars would have run there. let's just say, it might not look much different but it would probably have a worse result entirely
@@jeremeymcdude you is so right especially when the ne IRL cars is only pumping out around 600 go ( even more when hybrid tech come in a few year to Indy) slower than a 94 Penske car with 1,000 hp.
They were actually 2.65 liters :) Awesome machines for sure! No TCS, ABS or power steering, sequential stick shifted, 900+ hp and 15K+ rpm with an amazing sound.
I'd say Nigel Mansell would disagree on the TCS regarding the 1994 Penske cars. As would Honda's competitors in the late 90's. Wonderful era and incredible cars.
Hmm, interesting. I recall reading that Honda had very cleverly designed their engine such that the blow off valve was in a low pressure area and would support a higher boost pressure than what the rule book said, but I hadn't heard the TCS claims. Gonna have to look that up now.
Formula allowed for stock block engines to run more cubic inches and pushrod motors could run more boost, or more displacement - or both. I don't remember. Mercedes (under an Ilmor badge) read the rulebook - and found a pushrod 3.4L general motors v8 that produced well over 1000hp - there's vids on TH-cam about it. Search for "Penske secret indy motor" and you'll find it. It was banned directly after the race too - but it won the indy 500!
@@csonkaperdido You have several things wrong with that statement. It was an Ilmor engine badged as a Mercedes. Mercedes really had nothing to do with the design and build of the special one off motor. They actually came on board very late in the game, and then entered CART Indy Car racing full time the following year. The engine was not a general motors V8. The rule loop hole allowed a purpose built "stock block" to be used, allowing Mario Illien, Paul Morgan, and Roger Penske to push the envelope on the spirit of the rule. The rule was intended to allow legit stock blocks compete. The motor was also not well over 1000 HP. The designers have talked about the motor fairly often over the years and often talk about how inflated the estimated numbers have become over the years. Just over 1000 HP is the peak of that motor's performance on the dyno. They felt in the proceeding year, they were going to pull substantially more HP out of it due to optimization, but USAC put an end to the project, as you said. Leading up to the 1994 Indy 500, Ilmor and Penske were highly struggling to find the reliability needed to go 500 miles. The engine was far from running at full potential that May.
@@csonkaperdido Yes, that was 1994 in the Indy 500 rule book -- not in CART's rule book. Although the Indy 500 was a CART points race that year and in years prior, it was run under USAC's rules which allowed the stock-block engines with more turbo boost (smaller teams used the Buick V6 engine which was fast but unreliable) or the bigger non-turbo engine which is the rule exploited by Penske/Ilmor/Mercedes. Those rules were in place to make the race more accessible to small teams with little funding. It was not expected for somebody to spend loads and exploit them. A year later, of course, CART was out of the race as Tony George had created the Indy Racing League in an effort to save small teams who could no longer afford to compete at the CART level and to bring back a primarily oval series with mostly American drivers like what he perceived as the good old days.
You should try to find Nigel mansel's Newman Haas ford lola. That's the car he made history in by holding the cart championship back in 1993 after he won and left f1 the year before
Best car mod ever. And was made even better when they were able to include the AMS turbo model (when that was added to AMS, the mod was updated shortly after).
Hi Jimmy. Thanks for that video of my favorite race series back in the late 1990's. And FYI, the first car you overtook was the car that Mark Blundell used to drive. Man, I miss Champ Cars :-)
I'm kind of waiting for Jimmy to take the mad R8 LMP900 onto the Nordschleife tbh. Would be interesting see how the most dominant LMP car fares there :D
We raced this car/track combination in a league race some years ago. Indeed awesome choice! With a proper setup it's simply insane driving those esses, had so much fun there :-)
Anyone here remember CART Precision Racing? Liveries in this mod look to be from the same year, 1997. That was the first taste I ever got of sim racing, not that I drove like it though- I always drove Michigan, bonked the wheels off of competitor cars, and switched damage off/on to repair my own mid-race LMAO
Or maybe for me it was Papyrus' NASCAR Racing 2, which focused on the 1996 season but I got a year or two after it came out. Here's to anyone else who got in around that time.
You really owe it to yourself to look up cart from the 90's here on youtube. Great start is the final laps of the 2000 michigan 500 with the duel between Montoya and andretti.
Road Atlanta is one of my favorite tracks in sim cause it's the only track my dad raced at in real life on a motorcycle. The other 2 I haven't seen in games before
Late-90s Indycar was amazing to watch. Too bad my two favourite drivers were Greg Moore and Alex Zanardi. Thankfully, one of them is still alive, but it was a near thing.
I hate that I had to look up whose car Jimmy was driving. This era of CART was my all time favorite racing series but for the life of me, I couldn’t remember that Max Papis drove that other Arciero-Wells car that year. I just always remember him in the Rahal Miller Lite car.
I live in the eastern US and this is one of the tracks I really want to drive on. This and VIR, Virginia international raceway, are very awesome tracks I want to go to. Unfortunately most track events cost 200-400 and I lack a car that could drive there and take the abuse.
It had a pretty troubled existence until 1999. The track was closed during most of the CART era this vid/mod is closest to; and prior to closure and after reopening always had ownership with close ties to sportscar racing. It's also in the 'wrong' part of the country for most of where CART raced; they tagged on Homstead, but aside form that raced mainly in the north, with Oregon and California added in; then were heading to Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Australia; and later UK, Germany, Spain & Italy (though those last two never happened); so adding in more US tracks wasn't really in CART's sights. IRL was slightly different - and the track's owner also ended up owning a major chassis and parts supplier to the IRL, but just at a time when they were uninterested in road course racing.. and when they won the single CART supply, the series folded shortly after! Now of course, being owned by NASCAR it is possible that they will look to bring Indycar to Road Atlanta; but again the current head of NASCAR (Jim France) is a sportscar guy primarily; and has closer ties with IMSA, having run it's current iteration for many years.
Maybe an idea for a future video: do a lap around the norschleife then go at it in reverse (not in reverse gear, you know what I mean) and see how close you can get with driving the norschleife in the wrong direction anyway love your videos keep it up :D
How much is Automobilista, and is it available on Steam? Judging by this vid, this looks like a very, very good sim, and dare I say it, it's just as good as Assetto.
Jimmer pulls a Shirley Claire... "Damage, what damage. It feels good. I still drive flat out!" Reaches out to hold mirror from being ripped off on back staight....
id say that automobilista has truly brought out the best of gmotor2, its almost unrecognizable from rfactor, the closest thing i can think of is the simbin games, and even they run on the same engine.

As far as I know, Road Atlanta has never hosted major American open wheel racing, which is weird.
It had a pretty troubled existence until 1999. The track was closed during most of the CART era this vid/mod is closest to; and prior to closure and after reopening always had ownership with close ties to sportscar racing. It's also in the 'wrong' part of the country for most of where CART raced; they tagged on Homstead, but aside form that raced mainly in the north, with Oregon and California added in; then were heading to Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Australia; and later UK, Germany, Spain & Italy (though those last two never happened); so adding in more US tracks wasn't really in CART's sights.
IRL was slightly different - and the track's owner also ended up owning a major chassis and parts supplier to the IRL, but just at a time when they were uninterested in road course racing.. and when they won the single CART supply, the series folded shortly after!
Now of course, being owned by NASCAR it is possible that they will look to bring Indycar to Road Atlanta; but again the current head of NASCAR (Jim France) is a sportscar guy primarily; and has closer ties with IMSA, having run it's current iteration for many years.
In reality, it's often said Road Atlanta lacks enough runoff for the speed of IndyCar.
People cry about V10's in F1... Not me. I want the 90's V8 Turbo Cart back.
Wish it had vr support, such a great sim.

Should give the Australian V8 supercars a go around the greatest Australian track, Mount Panorama

It's like Jonathan Ross takes over the F1 commentary.
Jimmer pulls a Shirley Claire... "Damage, what damage. It feels good. I still drive flat out!" Reaches out to hold mirror from being ripped off on back staight....
That was fantastic.

Rear view mirror in an open topped car?
id say that automobilista has truly brought out the best of gmotor2, its almost unrecognizable from rfactor, the closest thing i can think of is the simbin games, and even they run on the same engine.
Quality content, thanks for your racing videos.
Do you people reckon Automobilista is worth it without the Season Pass?
